stay with us. coming after the break, we want to talk specifically about municipal debt which has been one of the areas that perhaps has been under cover but has seen an impact as the fiscal cliff approaches. congress may be able to avoid the starry cliff. they're set to temporarily extend the u.s. farm bill. the move would keep a long dormant milk subsidy from coming back to life when the current bill expires today. under a new law, the milk could be forced at prices well above what farmers are getting now if that subsidy was pushed aside. let's get a look at what's on the agenda this week in the u.s. there is no data out today and markets will put in a full trading session on wednesday. thursday is the adp employment report and weekly jobless claims. friday brings the december payroll numbers. we also get ism services and factory orders. plenty of data there. it will be quite a busy week. from all of us here at "worldwide exchange," happy early new year. on that note, we want to know if you made

for us, it's innovation. at a time when the squeeze are on, innovation is sometimes on the back burner because price becomes the most important thing. maybe i don't get the best product available in the market but i get a product that does the job and it's cheaper. if it's becoming a little more tense, that may be in one or two markets the dominating factor. i have to deal with that. so for us it means more agile, faster reaction, reducing costs and dealing with the balance sheet. >> some businesses are now controlled by asian companies like the pc manufacturing. do you think it's the fate of the telecom equipmentmaker? >> i don't agree with that for the first reason that a lot of this is transforming. you picked up the phone to talk. today, you pick up a tablet to do many different things. you get a mixture of the telecom world. so that environment is so inf x influxed, there are so many different forces coming through to the forefront that you need not just to have your technology side, you need to have you
